Out of the blue

[WindStrike]

Dear CJC,


Why is it called "Out of the blue" when it comes out of nowhere? Shouldn't it be out of the black, since that way it'd be dark and no one can see?


I feel obligated to bequeath you with a boot to the head called something like a uhh.. Happy Birthday? I've never heard that term before. I came up with it while drinking with my fellow goats one night, and they told me yogurt was the only way you could make a porcupine disassociate itself with existence, as a preemptive measure to counteract all those mice populating the sun.


That said, you've lived for 25 years now. I know it's been hard, I know I'd go crazy if I couldn't play tennis with a pair of pizzas too, but you know, you've still got a relatively short life ahead of you - that is, compared to the life of the universe, which, if we assume that life is just a figment of the interconnected imaginations of everyone that exists, you've lived as long as existence has. So with that, I leave you with the only thing possible.





Your mentally corrected uncertifiable potato-kun,

PS: I am 100% serious about that initial question, cause seriously... yeah. Anyhow, enjoy your 25th birthday man.

I suppose it's because the sky and the sea are reflections of each other, and neither is possessed of actual color. So the appearance of both comes 'out of the blue'.


...So now I'm a Quarter Era with Cheese. Funny, I should feel different. I mean, this is the magic number where people can suddenly rent cars. Shouldn't some grand knowledge have descended on me at midnight or something?



Thanks for the birthday wishes.

Well, there is the phenomenon known as "bolts from the blue," where lightning strikes miles away from where a thunderstorm is happening - so you may be seeing clear skies, but a lightning bolt from a thunderstorm miles away might strike you. It's rare, but it happens.

I might eat you then... if it's the habanero one.

Happy Birthday.

Happy Born Naked Into The World Day, CJC!

I thought that "out of the blue" was a sea thing, like: "all of a sudden out of the blue a shark bites my dick off!".

Happy birthday CJC!
